Do we get Obamacare here? I don't think I do, as a matter of fact my age and stuff said that I'd qualify to pay something like $800 a month and have a $10,000 deductible when I used the ACA website. All I know is that there is no way to pay for it, no way to keep it afloat and no way to keep qualified people always involved but being the only "developed" country without healthcare is crazy, but, ACA and GOPCare are both misnomers for insurance reform, it's not about health it's all about paying the insurance companies. If it was about healthcare it'd lump in all healthcare, eyes, teeth, etc.
For reference, I know taxes could keep it afloat, but I'm no fan of a 50% tax plan for even the rich. Although historically our highest tax rate was 92%.
“Anything the government gets involved in, it’s going south.”
This is born and bred into us from South Georgia, for both parties as far as I can tell. It's not so prevalent in Metro Atlanta.
I remember talking to a Danish guy I met in China several years ago. He told me Americans were horrified that the Danes paid 50% of their income in tax. He told me: "but I don't have to pay for health care, education. That money I get is mine, free and clear, to do with what I want."
You will not be surprised that, in practice, nobody was paying 92%. Nor was anyone paying the 94% tax rate charged in the darkest days of the Second World War.
